NCT00885898

Brief Summary

In the past, patients suffering from acute respiratory failure had to be treated with Oxygen and specific medication, or - if this had not been sufficient - had to be anesthesized and had to undergo endotracheal intubation for invasive ventilation. Nowadays, since emergency ventilators are available that can be used for non-invasive ventilation, the purpose of this study is to investigate if non-invasive ventilation is safe, feasible and effective for the treatment of acute respiratory failure and if less patients will need to be intubated out-of-hospital as well as in the further course.
